NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®: 100 Years in Celebration of the American Dream
The NAR Centennial commemorative book takes readers through the history of organized real estate in the United States—from the early efforts to found a national organization, through the development of cooperative selling and MLS, the evolution of NAR as an advocate of fair housing, and the advent of technologies that are changing the way real estate is bought and sold. Learn the colorful origin of the term REALTOR® and meet the giants who gave shape to the industry, defined community planning in this country, and spread the message of private property rights throughout the world. For real estate and history buffs, the book presents a view of NAR's role in some of the defining moments of the 20th century.
